| Music Your Wife Will Really LISTEN To with you ? Anything with a christmas title, but I really like the GRP christmas disks.

| VPI ScoutMaster versus Aries IMO the VPI JMW tonearms are better than the Rega's. If the Aries came with a JMW 10, lets say, and was priced the same as the ScoutMaster I would be tempted to go that way.But the Scoutmaster will probably be a better deal than the Aries with a R... | |
| Need VPI HW-19 jr & Audioquest PT-8 Manuals You can get tonearm manuals here:http://www.vinylengine.com/The PT9,8,7 and 6 are all identical, except for the wiring and perhaps bearing adjustments.Enjoy,Bob | |
| Sony s7700 mods by Empirical Audio. Supposedly, if you're using the 7700 as a transport the power cord really doesn't matter - according to Steve at EA. If you're going to install an IEC I would be careful of the grounding. The unit only has an ungrounded 2 prong power cord now, so ... | |
| Sony s7700 mods by Empirical Audio. I've compared an EA modded 7700 against a few other well regarded transports and it came out stunningly well, or better, then these in most every way. I know some others who have also compared it against Mark Levinson & Meridian transports and... | |
| Zappa? Saw the band live on the Joe's Garage (1) tour. He played the whole album, then encored with Black Napkins.Other great's that I enjoy are:ApostropheOne Size Fits AllOverNight SensationBob | |
| Audiocircle forum gone to the dogs? Tell me more about the V-cap's Bluemike. I also have a Mantissa into a Mccormack DNA .5 near Rev A. Did you replace or just bypass the white output coupling caps (forgot the brand in there but I believe they are multicaps, which are already intern... | |
| Tonearm Suggestions Is your turntable suspended or non-suspended? That could make a difference in what is recommended.I replaced an Audioquest with a Moerch PT6 this year. A big, big, big step up, for sure. But also a whole lot more $.There's always the used market f... | |
| Toshiba 4960 as a DVD-A transport This player definitely has a history of not playing every DVD-A. I would definitely look elsewhere if that is a concern to you.If not, and you're looking for inexpensive and decent Redbook and SACD, then this player is worth considering, especiall... | |

| Help with speaker system for billiards room? Get some Gallo's. You know, the round ones. Then paint them to look like billiard balls. Fun and decent sounding to boot.Enjoy,Bob | |
| Has anyone compared the Joseph Audio Pearl Speaker Heard it compared to Avantgarde Duo's and Uno's. All were pretty amazing but very different. Funny thing that - we're all shooting for that sonic perfection. That "you are there" kind of sound. You would think that with this goal in mind these top... | |
| DAC under $550? Then there's the host of non-oversampling DAC's. They definitely have their own flavor but many, many consider them more musical overall. There's at least 10 I can think of for under $500. Do a search here, on Audio Circle and on Audio Asylum.Enjo... | |
| steps ahead I think the best album by the group was one of the last -- Vibe. Some of the earlier stuff sounds dated today. All good, but still a bit long in the tooth.Bob | |
| Speaker Sugestions Wanted $1500 max For $1500 I think your best bet is to look at several of the DIY kit speakers offered at madisound, Zalytron and several others. You will get much better sound for your $$$ than buying full retail or even used. Only problem is you can't hear them ... |
